Problem Clarifications for
Column Structure
Problem No. 4
Division I, II, III & IV
Clarifications as of Nov 09, 2009

10-29-2009  
 1.  C.3.a - Once a column's footprint has been measured during weigh-in, it must not change in size during the performance. If it is designed to do so, a Spirit of the Problem Penalty will be assessed. If a column is not the same size at its top and bottom, the team must mark the bottom end.

C.11.f - (An addition to the list.) The weight placement portion of the problem solution will end if the columns touch each other in any way.

D.2a. Bonus points should read three or two. The Spirit of the Problem requires more than one column to be used for Testing.

 2.  Figure B: Ignore the word "camouflaged". It is a typo.
11-09-2009  
 3.  B.5 The word 'performance' in B.5 refers to the 8-minute presentation time. The team must use its device and test its structure during this time to receive score. The team does not have to integrate the use of the device and/or testing of its structure into its Style presentation.
